We Say: The Highline is the most versatile shoe in this guide. The midsole features a plastic plate that runs from the heel to the forefoot to protect the foot against sharp trail debris. The plate also helps with heel-to-toe transition. In the heel is a soft wedge of foam that gives the foot more protection at heel-strike. The outsole incorporates sticky rubber in the forefoot for added traction and impact protection. The upper fits well--it's secure around the heel, supportive through the arch, and roomy in the forefoot. A good road and trail shoe for runners who normally wear stability shoes.
